Custom-made Plain Bearing Solution

There are three types of self-lubricating plain bearings used today: Oil-filled sintered bronze bearings, self-lubricating metal-polymer bearings, lubrication-free solid polymer bearings.

Unveiling the World of Self-Lubricating Bearings: A Guide to PTFE and POM Variants

In the realm of mechanical engineering and industrial applications, efficiency and longevity are paramount. Self-lubricating bearings emerge as a stellar solution, minimizing the need for maintenance while optimizing performance. Particularly, bearings made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyoxymethylene (POM) stand out for their distinctive properties. This article delves into the diverse range of self-lubricating bearings available, focusing on PTFE and POM variants, and guides you on selecting the perfect size and type for your needs.

The Essence of Self-Lubricating Bearings

Self-lubricating bearings are designed to eliminate the need for additional lubrication. This not only reduces maintenance requirements but also extends the lifespan of the machinery. These bearings are especially beneficial in environments where regular maintenance is challenging or where contamination from lubricants must be avoided.

PTFE Sleeve Bushing: The High-Performance Choice

PTFE, commonly known by its brand name Teflon, is renowned for its exceptional chemical resistance and low friction coefficients. PTFE sleeve bushings are ideal for applications requiring minimal friction and high resistance to corrosive substances. These bushings are suitable for a wide range of temperatures, making them versatile for various industrial applications.

POM Flanged Sleeve: Durable and Versatile

POM, also known as acetal, is praised for its high strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. POM flanged sleeve bearings are perfect for applications requiring durability and resistance to wear. Their flanged design offers added support and alignment, making them ideal for high-load applications.

MoS2 Infused Variants: Enhanced Performance

Some self-lubricating bearings are infused with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) to further enhance their lubricating properties. MoS2 provides an additional layer of lubrication, reducing friction and wear even in extreme conditions. This makes them suitable for applications where high loads and high speeds are common.

Choosing the Right Size and Type

When selecting a self-lubricating bearing, consider the specific requirements of your application. The size of the bearing is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Our selection ranges from small to large sizes, accommodating various industrial needs. Whether you need a PTFE sleeve bushing for its chemical resistance or a POM flanged sleeve for its durability, the right choice depends on your application’s specific demands.

Self-lubricating bearings work by having lubricant impregnated within the sliding layer of the bearing. This lubricant can either be liquid (oil) or solid (PTFE, POM Layer, graphite, MoS2, lead) based on the requirements of the application (such as operating temperature). As the sliding bearing operates, the lubricant is released through pores in the sliding layer, lubricating the bearing surface.

What are self-lubricating bearings?

Self-lubricating bearings, as the name suggests, provide their own lubrication during operation, without the need to apply grease or lubricating oil.

For this reason, self-lubricating bearings are also referred to as maintenance-free or grease-free bearings because they do not require relubrication or lubrication.

Wear rate and operation under specific loads, temperatures and speeds are all important considerations when choosing the best bearing for your application. The effects of dust, dirt, or chemicals on the bearing are also often deciding factors, as are noise levels and performance with different shaft materials.

How important are self-lubricating bearings in the aerospace industry?

The aerospace industry needs low friction bearings with excellent wear resistance to reduce labor costs. In addition, many areas of an aircraft are difficult to access for servicing and therefore benefit from components with long service life, namely self-lubricating bearings.

Self-lubricating bearings eliminate the need for maintenance, reduce labor costs, and extend life in aerospace applications.

Self Lubricating Bronze Bearings With Solid Lubricant

Self-lubricating bronze bearings are maintenance-free due to the fact that they are manufactured with solid lubricating materials, such as graphite inserts.

They are particularly suitable for applications where manual lubrication is difficult or where oil and grease lubricants cannot be used. They provide excellent lubrication at high loads and slow speeds.
